Continental drift occurs over millions of years, and the process of continents converging can take anywhere from 50-200 million years depending on the speed of the movement of tectonic plates. The current rate of movement of the continents is about the same speed at which fingernails grow.
It took millions of years for the continents to come together to form the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed around 335 million years ago. The process of the continents drifting apart and coming back together, known as plate tectonics, is a slow geological process that occurs over millions of years.
Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift based on the observation of similar fossil and geological evidence on separate continents, matching coastlines, and the fit of continents like puzzle pieces. He suggested that continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea, which slowly drifted apart due to continental movement.
The movement of continents is driven by plate tectonics, which is a slow process. Over millions of years, the movement of tectonic plates causes the continents to shift positions. Factors such as the size and composition of the plates, as well as the heat within the Earth's mantle, all contribute to the gradual movement of the continents to their current locations.
The shapes of continents are a result of tectonic plate movement, erosion, and other geological processes over millions of years. They vary in size, location, and orientation due to these factors. Continents can have diverse shapes, such as long and narrow like South America or more rounded like Africa.
About 335 million years ago, Earth's continents were connected in a supercontinent known as Pangaea. Over time, Pangaea broke apart into separate landmasses that eventually drifted to their current positions.

yes
Earth is constantly moving every day. The continents are very far apart but still over a very long period of time.. the continents will come together again. The continents move 2 centimeters every year. The waters gravity slowly pulls the continents toward it. This is how earth is now..
A mouse's gestation period is around 20 days.
from 1970 until now, this year they are 40 years together
Because they didn't evolve until long after the continents split apart - meaning they never colonised England.
pangea is a super-continent formed a long time ago when all of the seven continents came together. the largest amount of evidence scientists have is that all of the continents fit almost perfectly together, like a puzzle.
They are together until the end of episode 6.
It has been proven that the earth was once a hole with where you could almost put all the pieces together of all the continents and as the earth has plates underneath the surface they tend to slip and cause earthquakes. more and more until they just break apart. forming what is now the 7 continents. To learn more about continents go to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent hope it answers your question
A week.
get a whole bunch of bugs and glue them then tape them together until its that long
Living together does not make you married no matter how long. Until you have a wedding you're just in a relationship.
